City council to discuss block grants, liquor pilot Staff Report The Charleston city council will vote on a Community Development Block Grant Program Grant Application at their meeting.

The grant will go to rehabilitating and improving a targeted area in Charleston, city clerk Deborah Muller said.

These can include roof replacements, installing wires, furnace replacements, vinyl and electrical siding and wiring.

According to this week’s agenda, the staff ’s recommendation for this item is to waive the layover period and approve the grant application.

The city council is also set to vote on renewing an agreement with the Illinois Department of Revenue for an Alcoholic Liquor Enforcement Pilot Program.

Under the terms of this agreement, every alcoholic liquor license holder is subject to an annual Standard Compliance Inspection.

An inspection report should be submitted electronically by the city, and a subsidy will be rendered to the city for the submitted inspection.

Also on the agenda for the meeting Tuesday is the recognition of Oct. 9-15 as Fire Prevention Week, a resolution to approve the closing of a street for the Charleston Challenge 40-mile Relay Foot Race on Nov. 5.

According to the agenda, the relay would require the temporary closure of portions of Reynolds Drive and McComb Street, because participants will gather and begin the 40-Mile loop at Carl Sandburg Elementary School in order to facilitate the race.

The meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

48

days until presidential election.

Students, staff and faculty can register to vote at Coles County Courthouse.

Early voting begins Sept. 29 to Nov. 7.

Political science professor Richard Wandling expands on Karen Swenson’s, who is also a political science professor, point regarding the terms and conditions of “fighting words” Monday during the Constitution Day Panel in Lumpkin Hall Auditorium.

Panel explains first amendment

By Samuel Nusbaum Administration reporter | @DEN_News A panel during Constitution Day covered many First Amendment topics such as the right to protest, religious freedom, Internet safety and the rights of students.

The panel was made up of three professors, Lola Burnham of journalism, Richard Wandling of political science and Karen Swenson of political science.

Aaliyah Stephen, the president of the Society for Collegiate Journalists, Cassie Buchman, the vice president of the Society for Collegiate Journalists Christopher Pickard of the Political Science Association and Jeremy Lynch, the president of the Pre-Law Society, were the moderators.

Stephen asked questions concerning whether or not athletes such as San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick are protected as citizens and employees under the First Amendment. Kaepernick is kneeling during

the national anthem to protest police brutality in America.

Burnham said the First Amendment protects a person from their government and not from their employer.

“If the NFL wanted to come down on Colin Kaepernick, they could according to whatever the items in his contract are,” Burnham said.

Burnham said if there was something in his contract that said he had to stand and he did not, then they could punish him. The NFL has no rules requiring its players to stand during the national anthem, Burnham said.

An example she gave was Chris Jackson, the NBA player who converted to Islam and refused to stand for the national anthem. He was suspended because the NBA requires its players to stand, Burnham said.

When Stephen brought up Leilani Thomas of California, the student who had her grades lowered because she sat during the Pledge of Allegiance to protest the mistreatment of Native Americans, Swenson said the teacher who

lowered the grades acted inappropriately and violated Thomas’ First Amendment rights to not stand.

Wandling brought up the Supreme Court case of Tinker vs. Des Moines, where a high school student wore a black armband to protest the Vietnam War. The Court ruled students do not lose their First Amendment rights when they enter the school.

So as long as a student is not interrupting the flow of the school day, the protest is allowed.

Pickard asked the panel about the government and whether or not it can censor the Internet.

Swenson said the government has been hands off on the Internet with minor exception.

“They attempted in 1996 to pass a law which protected children from accessing sexually explicit materials,” Swenson said.

“The Supreme Court shot that down on numerous grounds.”

SACIS hosting 5k walk/run during family weekend Chrissy Miller Contributing Writer | @DEN_News For the first time ever, the Take Back the Day 5K will coincide with Family Weekend. The Sexual Assault Counseling and Information Service is scheduled to host its third annual run/ walk 5K at 8 a.m. this Saturday at Sister City Park.

To get students more involved and create a “communiversity” effort in helping the cause, SACIS event coordinator Erin Walters said SACIS is offering some special deals for students, including that they only have to pay $10 to par-

ticipate. If a student decides to be involved, their family is allowed to participate for free. Students can also sponsor the event. For $25, five students can participate to represent a club, a hall or a Greek organization. The student group with the most participation will win an award.

“We wanted to make this event one of those ties between the university and our community so that the students and their parents can be a part of our community and see some of the neighborhoods within our community and the community can see students participating in something that has such a positive mission,” Walters said.

The 5K started as a way to bring more awareness to sexual violence and help raise money for SACIS’ many services, which include providing prevention education for schools and the community, as well as counseling and advocacy for those impacted by sexual violence.

The name ties into the Take Back the Night march SACIS has each spring, SACIS adult counselor, Donna Turner Hudson said.

“Take Back the Night is a signature event for Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April,” Hudson said. “That’s an international movement geared toward reclaiming streets and towns as spaces where women should not have to be

afraid at night. So we symbolically take back the night in the spring and we take back the day in the fall.”

In the past people from boy scouts to the former Eastern President, William Perry have made the event interesting in the past, Walters said.

“He participated, and as a result we say he is the fastest president to cross the SACIS 5K line,” Walters said.

Hudson said the involvement of the community is uplifting.

HOPE fundraises with local business

By Tiffany Ayres-Dunn Contributing writer | @DEN_News For over seven years Housing Outreach Prevention and Education, of East Central Illinois has raised donations and awareness for domestic violence through their Night of HOPE fundraiser.

HOPE is a non-profit organization that provides victims of domestic violence shelter, education, legal assistance and more.

The fundraiser will be hosted from 5 to 9 p.m. at Friday on Sept. 30 in Jackson Avenue Coffee.

Ac c o rd i n g t o t h e i r we b s i t e , HOPE’s mission is to “empower persons to live independent, non-violent lives through the provisions of Housing, Outreach, Prevention and

Education.”

Althea Pendergast, executive director of HOPE, said Night of HOPE is the biggest event of the year.

Pendergast said Night of HOPE is not just about the donations, but will also teach families around the community about domestic violence and spread awareness.

This year, Pendergast said the members of HOPE would like to raise $5,000 in donations for the organization.

“It is important to have a big turnout this year because of the previous issues with the state budget,” Pendergast said.

The state of Illinois has been without a budget for little over a year, meaning social services, such as

HOPE, have not been fully funded.

The donations will help cover the cost for shelter needs, transitional housing, and counseling for adults and children.

Dan Reible, owner of Jackson Avenue Coffee and a HOPE board member, said the JAC will be hosting the fundraiser and providing a silent auction that started at the beginning of the month and ends the night of the fundraiser. The night will also feature three live bands, various raffles, gift certificates and food.

The fundraiser begins at 5 p.m. with the band Reverend Robert playing, following them is AM Radio at 6 p.m., Tequila Mockingbyrd at 7 p.m. and closing the night at 8 p.m. is Mother Lode.

On top of providing entertainment and food, Jackson Avenue Coffee will be giving away 20 percent of all sales on Friday, Sept. 30 and donating them to HOPE to help their cause. Reible said the fundraiser is fun for all ages and everyone is invited to come and learn about HOPE and help spread awareness.

Pendergast said students who are unable to attend the fundraiser can donate by visiting HOPE’s website or send donations to their office, P.O. Box 732 in Charleston, Ill. Tiffany Ayres-Dunn can be reached at 581-2812 or tmayresdunn@eiu. edu.

STATE AND NATION BRIEFS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chicago Police to undergo more train ing CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Police Department launched mandatory training designed to help officers de-escalate conflicts, including situations involving the use of force and mental health issues, officials said Monday.

The program, which Superintendent Eddie Johnson is scheduled to discuss at an evening news conference, is among several department reforms following the fatal shooting of teenager Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times by police. The department, which is undergoing a U.S. Department of Justice investigation, will expand the use of body cameras and Mayor Rahm Emanuel has pitched a new police accountability system. He's expected to give a speech on policing and crime this

week.

The de-escalation training at the Chicago Police Academy, which is in its second week, was developed with a panel of national policing and mental health experts. It uses live scenarios and exercises to help officers better assess how to respond to complex and tense situations. Some of the tactics include using slower and calmer approaches when possible.

"Chicago police officers put themselves in dangerous situations to protect all of us. It is important to provide them the training necessary that will help them evaluate every scenario and apply the appropriate response," Johnson said in a statement. "This training is a vital tool to help us build the public trust that is vital to making our city safer."

All of about 12,500 sworn officers will undergo the two-day training within about a year, which includes drills to test their reactions and judgment, according to The Chicago Tribune.

Some community leaders were skeptical of the impact without other improvements, particularly in impoverished neighborhoods that have experienced more violence.

"What would really help would be escalating resources in blighted communities," said the Rev. Gregory Livingston with the Coalition for a New Chicago. "If you don't escalate the resources, all the de-escalation training in the world will not make a difference."

Over the weekend, the police department announced that it will ex-

pand the use of body cameras to include all officers on patrol by 2018, which follows a 2015 pilot program with the cameras.

Emanuel's administration has proposed a new system to investigate police-involved shootings, officer complaints and department practices, which City Council members are considering. It includes creating a new agency and deputy inspector general position. Emanuel's speech is slated for Thursday evening.

McDonald, a black 17-year-old, was fatally shot in 2014 by a white police officer, who has since been charged with murder. Graphic squadcar video of the shooting was released last year, prompting citywide protests, police leadership changes and the federal probe.

Manhattan bombing suspect shot by police LINDEN, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey police officer responding to a call about a hoodied vagrant curled up asleep in a bar doorway roused him and quickly recognized the bearded face of perhaps the most wanted man in America.

Ahmad Khan Rahami — identified in an FBI bulletin just hours earlier as a man wanted in the weekend bombings in New York City and New Jersey — pulled a gun, shot the officer and triggered a running gun battle in the street that ended with Rahami wounded and in custody Monday, authorities said.

A bloodied Rahami was loaded into the back of an ambulance, just 50 hours

after the first blast that started it all.

Rahami, 28, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Afghanistan who lived with his Muslim family in Elizabeth, New Jersey, underwent surgery for a gunshot wound to the leg as authorities began drawing up charges in a case that spread fear across the New York area and revived anxiety about homegrown terrorism.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said officials have every reason to believe the series of bombings "was an act of terror," though investigators said Rahami's exact motive isn't yet clear.

Late Sunday night, five explosive devices were discovered in a trash can at

an Elizabeth train station. Investigators said they are still gathering evidence and have not publicly tied Rahami to those devices.

Late Monday, a hospitalized Rahami was charged in New Jersey with five counts of attempted murder of police officers in connection with the shootout and was held on $5.2 million bail.

Federal prosecutors said they were still weighing charges over the bombings.

But William Sweeney Jr., the FBI's assistant director in New York, said there were no indications Rahami was on law enforcement's radar at the time of the bombings.

Authorities zeroed in on him as the

potential bomber after a fingerprint and DNA lifted from one of the New York sites and "clear as day" surveillance video from the bombing scene helped identify him, according to three law enforcement who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.

Around the time Rahami was captured, President Barack Obama was in New York on a previously scheduled visit for a meeting of the U.N. General Assembly. He called on Americans to show the world "we will never give in to fear."

History professor Debra Reid explains a picture of Civil Rights activists at her presentation on visual culture during the Civil Rights movement in Booth Library Monday.

History professor uses photos to talk civil rights

By Janet Pernell Multicultural Reporter | @DEN_News Debra Reid, professor of history, explained the significance of different images of African-American leaders, protestors and church members during an educational presentation on Monday evening in room 4440 of the Booth Library.

An excerpt from “Colored People”

by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and classic images of The Little Rock Nine was used to set the mood for understanding Civil Rights.

The images presented were pictures of middle class African-Americans. The earliest images dated back to the 1920s.

Reid said most of the images she displayed were rare and could be only found in the south of the United States.

Some were even rare to get digitized.

The presentation is called “Collecting, Preserving and Interpreting Material Evidence of the Struggle for Civil Rights.” Reid’s presentation is featured with Booth Library’s “For All the World to See; Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights” exhibit.

Reid displayed an image from 1920 with an African-American woman standing outside a “Demonstration House,” where the woman showed her success with gardening.

Other women stood on the porch of the house wearing white and some were dressed in the best attire at the time.

The audience ranged from older guests, Booth Library staff and one student.

Reid hopes one day more students will show up to her presentations and get involved with them.

Reid said the purpose of her presen-

tation is to not forget what happened in the past.

“I’m fascinated by the fact that these folks pretty much defy expectations of every turn,” Reid said. “You learn a certain lesson in the history books and the lives that these people lived are very different than what you learn in the history books.”

Reid said she hopes people will soon look at things from a different perspective.

“It’s about visual awareness and thinking about how we could gather even more evidence to help understand this story,” Reid said. “The histories of the Civil Rights movement.”

Reid said she is passionate about African-American heritage because it has always caught her attention.

“I’ve always been fascinated by learning about a history that does not often

get written.” Reid said. “I just love to be a part of generating an interest in a past that we need to remember.”

Reid said talking to elders about the civil rights movement is a way for those to learn about the issue.

“If people talked to their elders, they’ll learn amazing things,” Reid said.

“By asking questions of older people, anybody will uncover their past and the past and family actually still preserve.”

Reid said learning about AfricanAmerican heritage was difficult growing up because people never talked about it.

She said when she was growing up, her history books focused on “great white men.”

Reid said Civil Rights is something people sometimes forget and she thinks there needs to be more things written about it.

“I wanted to be obvious that this past

needs to be preserved because people forget it,” Reid said. “There needs to be more documentation of the opposition.”

Reid said African-American heritage should be discussed during any month and not just February.

“We need to talk about Civil Rights all the time, we can triple it up in February,” Reid said. “But if we don’t talk about it every other day of the year, then were doing a disservice to the past.”

During the presentation, Reid passed around a calendar with artifacts that represented her presentation.

After the presentation, there was a question and answer for clarification on Reid’s presentation.

Don’t Haze Me, Bro

Shelby Niehaus

Low teacher pay cripples our society It was the spring of my sophomore year when the teaching program first started to bleed my wallet dry.

My instructor addressed the class with a cheery announcement: “You will all need to purchase LiveText. This program is $89 through the Union.”

Lucky me: I still had plenty of cash from a semester taken off to work. I complained a little, but was still able to slouch to the Union and, grumbling all the while, buy a program that I have since used a maximum of four times.

A single purchase of a class item would not have bothered me. In a career training program like teaching, purchases are perfectly reasonable.

So I took it in stride when I bought course packets and class materials and professional clothes that covered my knees and shoulders. I ignored the extra costs some of my classmates had to pay to take the Teaching Academic Proficiency (TAP) or ACT in order to enter the program, as I had been lucky enough to take the ACT instead of the SAT in high school.

But then practicum rolled around, and so with it came lectures about the dreaded edTPA, a battery designed to test student teachers immediately before licensure.

“The edTPA,” explained my instructor, “costs upwards of $300.”

I currently do not have that amount to my name. It will take me nearly three months to save enough money to comfortably pay for the test, assuming I keep both of my current jobs.

And surprise! The edTPA is performed during student teaching, during which many education professors recommend quitting outside work!

After we complete our expensive training, we have a whole lot more debt to look forward to.

Education careers pay firmly into the middle class, often the lower half, thanks to a combined effort between a business-valuing culture and a reformer named Horace Mann who decided that female teachers would be ideal because they did not require as much pay as males.

All traditionally “pink collar” (that is, female dominated) work is devalued and underpaid, but undervaluation of teaching at all stages is a heinous crime against humanity. Teaching careers should be supported and subsidized every step of the way, and not just for students who choose to teach science or math.

Fixing our problems starts with fixing our future citizens, and our future citizens start in the hands of teachers. Teachers cannot teach to their full ability when they are struggling to pay off debt, stock their classrooms and make ends meat.

I would love to advocate for a pay raise for every profession on the basis of universal human worth and interconnectedness, but reasonably, there are some professions that need to be brought up to speed. Teaching is one of them.

To secure the future, we need to secure the most vital profession on which the future rides: teaching.

NICOLE KINK | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Staff Editorial

Take advantage of history exhibits, lectures The Civil Rights Movement slowly gained momentum in the early ‘50s, uniting all Americans to fight against oppressive laws that systematically limited African American citizens.

It is impossible to time travel to the ‘50s and ‘60s to physically see, hear and participate in the protests and marches, but that is where the beauty of realistic museums and replicas comes into play.

Having interactive displays, videos and photos provide a realistic depiction of how citizens lived, thought and behaved.

The Booth Library is hosting a series of lectures, presentations and interactive displays from Sept. 1 until Oct. 20 discussing different aspects of the Civil Rights Movement.

Museum attendance provides an outlet for students, faculty and staff to immerse themselves in history.

The library has dissected the movement into different areas that citizens can learn about.

From environmental racism that will be discussed during the “Racialized Context of Disaster” presentation to the “Oh Freedom! Music of the Civil Rights Movement” where students can actually hear the sounds of the movement, almost every aspect of protest and social change will be discussed throughout the library programs.

The environment, music and branding all played vital roles in the movement that can be overlooked in a traditional classroom setting but are just as valu-

able.

On Sept. 24th the National Museum of African American History and Culture will be open to the public in Washington D.C. Instead of traveling across the nation, students should take advantage of the detailed exhibit in the library.

The Daily Eastern News believes that learning does not end when you leave the classroom, but that it can happen anywhere you are.

History has a funny way of repeating itself, so it is important to learn from the past.

The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.

Understand dining hall etiquitte, procedure Attention all students: there are a few behaviors that are being displayed in the dining areas that need to stop. These issues range from being on the phone in line to being just flat out rude, and it is time to talk about why they are so irksome.

Food places are set up in certain ways for a reason. For example, you may have noticed that some of the food and sauces are behind the counter. This is not by accident. Those dividers were not put there to create an obstacle for you when you want a specific item. The intention of that division is to ensure that workers are monitoring how much food, or sauce you are receiving at once.

This may seem like the food area is being cheap, but actually, the dining area is trying to make sure that they do not run out of food, that less food gets wasted and that dirty hands do not get all over the counters they are required by law to keep clean.

Some people, including myself, have a tendency to eat with their eyes and not with their stomach. This means that sometime we like to get more food than we can actually eat, and then we end up wasting it. Not only does this mean that it leaves less food for others, it can actually cause prices to go up because they are trying to replenish more food that is not being eaten.

With that said, please do not reach over counters to take sauces. The sauce is there for a reason, and it is not hard to catch the attention of a worker. Just say, “Excuse me,” and they will be more than will-

Alex Bonnot ing to help you.

However, when you try to catch our attention, do not expect us to hear your mumbling over the sound of people in the dining area and the noise coming from the machines we are working with.

That is unrealistic, and if we do not respond to you, it is probably because we cannot hear you.

I have also experienced the opposite of this problem which involves a student not being able to hear me. Please do not come into line with both headphones in and music or a phone call blaring. Not only does it hold up the line, but I have had the people that come into line like this get mad at me for interrupting their conversation.

I did not make you come into line. Why would you come in line and then get mad at me when I am simply trying to take your order? This also leads into my next issue.

Associate News Editor Abbey Whittington

Photo Editor Molly Dotson

Some people can be really rude for no reason at all. I understand that people have bad days and you probably do not want to wait in line, but I promise you that the workers are trying their best to get you what you want as fast as they can.

With that in mind, sometimes the reason we are behind is because people think they are giraffes and like to graze fries off the top of fry containers. Do not do this! We know you are taking fries, and if we catch you, you have to buy them anyway. If we do not catch you, we have to throw away that package of fries because someone has touched them.

This may not concern the person stealing them at first glance, but it should because over time prices will have to increase in order to be able to cover the cost of ordering more food.

Finally, please do not come in two minutes before close and expect to get a bunch of food made for you. After a certain time, grills and fryers need to be turned off so we can start cleaning.

Overall, during my time working in the dining areas, I have had more positive experiences than negative, but I thought it important to point out those few behaviors that can be rather irksome when going into work.

Burnham brought up Facebook and Twitter as examples of Internet censorship.

She said because they are private corporations, they can regulate the speech which occurs on their websites, with actions ranging from taking down posts to banning user accounts entirely.

She also said reading the terms and conditions on these websites are important as well because they spell out what people are able to do and what will get them in trouble.

Other topics discussed were flag burning, gay rights and Brother Jed and controversial his speech.

Samantha Gilbert, a sophomore political science major said the panel gave perspective on controversial topics, such as Kaepernick’s protest.

Gilbert said she learned that offensive speech is protected, whether or not people like the speech itself, like when Brother Jed yells at women as they walk past him.

Edwyn Mitchell, a sophomore political science major said he heard positions and ideas he had never heard before. He said it sparked an interest to learn more about the subjects that were touched on.

“A lot of people live in this country without digging into their rights,” Mitchell said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Seeing folks from both campus and community, families, and folks of different generations and walks of life coming together to support survivors makes me so happy,” Hudson said.

“And it’s just fun to be out of the office having a great time with coworkers and SACIS supporters.”

Marko Mohlenhoff, a member of the SACIS Board of Directors, also participates in the run/walk. In fact, he has been in the 5K since it started.

“Even if I weren’t on the board, I would still participate – sexual assault is an issue that affects all of us. Participating in this event is just one small, but effective way that I can continue to support SACIS so that they can keep supporting survivors in our community,” Mohlenhoff said. “It’s also a

way for me to personally participate in changing our culture to one where sexual assault is never okay, where we stop blaming and questioning the victims of sexual assault and where our institutions rise to the absolute highest standards of accountability in punishing perpetrators of sexual assault.”

Not only does this run/walk raise money and awareness, it is also community building, Mohlenhoff said.

“It’s a great way to get out and be active, usually on a beautiful fall morning, with other good folks from the Charleston and Eastern communities and support an organization that plays such an important role in serving our community,” Mohlenhoff said. “What more could you ask for?”

shows victims of sexual assault the community cares and supports them, Hudson said.

“As a counselor at SACIS, I know that many survivors feel alone and isolated in their experience of sexual assault, Hudson said. “There is a lot of shame and secrecy involved so it’s hard for people to talk about what they have been through. When survivors can see that the community has come together in support of their healing, I think it reduces some of that sense of alienation for survivors. It’s like the community is saying “you’re not alone; we care about you.”

Mohlenhoff said he strongly recommends getting involved.

“It’s a wonderful event,” Mohlenhoff said. “The atmosphere of the

event is so positive and welcoming, you’ll be glad you did it. You can walk the whole route, if you prefer, or you don’t even have to walk the whole thing. Come and get involved in supporting a great cause!”

On-site registration goes from 7 to 8 a.m. the day of the walk /run at Sister City Park. The entry fee is $20 before the event or $25 on-site. If people do not want to participate in the race or walk, they can still donate to SACIS by donation at www.firstgiving.com/sacis or by mailing a donation to SACIS, 1505 18th St., Suite 2, Charleston, IL 61920.

Women’s tennis team picks up wins at SIU

By Parker Valentine Women’s tennis reporter| @DEN_Sports

Eastern continued its fall season Sunday, at the SIUC fall classic with last week’s inactive players back in the lineup.

The Panthers were competitive all day, with wins coming in their No. 2 singles flight as well as No. 10. They finished second in multiple flights throughout the tournament in singles as well as doubles.

Junior Grace Summers won her singles flight in her first match of the fall, defeating Southeast Missouri sophomore Anais Emelie losing only one game (6-0, 6-1).

She then finished off the set besting SIUC sophomore Tereza Klocova in a grueling third match (3-6, 6-3, 10-8).

Summers was statistically the Panthers’ most dominant player last season and started the 2016 fall season off strong.

Freshman Shelby Anderson also won her flight, in the first games of her college career. After advancing to the championship of her flight due to an injury suffered mid-match to opponent Joanne Hollings of Southeast Missouri, she won the last match beating Senior Nicole Jones of Western Illinois (64, 6-1).

Anderson was inactive last week at the SIUE invite.

Senior Kelly Iden found a bit of success in her first contests of the season as well, finishing second in her flight.

After defeating Arkansas St. Senior Julie Gauguery (63, 6-4), She was defeated in the flight championship by Senior Ana Sofia Cordero of SIUC (6-3, 6-4).

Iden also found success in pairing up with freshman Emily Pugachevsky defeating Western Illinois’ Courtney Lubbers and Jenna Wallace (6-2).

Iden was sidelined for the first invite with an illness.

Sophomores Srishti Slaria and Abby Carpenter both earned wins in their singles flights before falling in their respective championships.

Slaria and Carpenter were also paired up in doubles.

The pair won their match against the Western Illinois duo of Anna Daniel Fuentes FILE PHOTO | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS and Cary Milanes (6-2).

OVC play just days away for football

By Sean Hastings Sports Editor| @DEN_Sports For the first time in two years, t h e Pa n t h e r s a re h e a d i n g i n t o Ohio Valley Conference play with a winning record after picking up two of the biggest wins in Eastern Coach Kim Dameron’s career.

Eastern was 0-3 the past two seasons going into conference play, but sits at 2-1 in 2016 thanks to a dominating defense and strong play by redshirt junior quarterback Mitch Kimble.

Eastern had no problem in OVC contests in 2015, losing just one game to Jacksonville State, but now coming out of non-conference with a winning record, they have proven they can win games outside of the OVC. The Panthers also lost to nonOVC opponent Northern Iowa in the playoffs last year 53-17. “ We d o n’t h a v e e v e r y b o d y around the country writing about how we can’t win a non-conference game and we’ve only won conference games,” Dameron said.

“That’s big for our program. An FBS win and a Missouri Valley win are huge.”

The Panthers open up against Austin Peay, a team they dominated last year 40-16.

One question heading into the game against Illinois State was whether or not the Panthers could get the run game going. Through the first two games, redshirt senior running back Devin Church and redshirt junior running back Korliss Marshall were without touchdowns.

Church said one run could change the way of the season and that run may have just been his 30-yard touchdown run at the beginning of Saturday’s fourth quar-

ter. It was his first rushing touchdown of the season and his longest.

Au s t i n Pe a y h a s p l a ye d j u s t two games this season, including an OVC loss to Tennessee Tech.

Their opponents have outscored them 98-24.

Eastern will alternate home and away games the rest of the season.

They will not have back-to-back away or home games.

One of the biggest games on the Panthers schedule is their matchup with Jacksonville State: last year’s OVC champion. The Gamecocks came into O’Brien Field and came away with a 24-3 win after scoring

21 points in the second half.

This time around, the Panthers will head to Jacksonville State’s home field with a chance to get that win back, just as they did with Illinois State. If things shape up like they did last year, that game could be both schools’ conference championship game.

The Panthers will host Tennessee-Martin and travel to Eastern Kentucky to finish off their 2016 regular season.

Tennessee-Martin played the Panther closer than Eastern Kentucky. Eastern just snuck by with a 23-21 victory at Tennessee-Martin. An early fourth quarter touch-

down gave the Panthers a 23-15 lead off a 45-yard interception return by Thomas Coronado.

The two points Eastern won by came from a safety earlier in the game, and when Tennessee-Martin scored with just under five minutes to play in the game, they failed to convert on the two-point try.

Eastern stopped the run try by Jarod Neal.

The Panthers ran away with the game against Eastern Kentucky, taking a 21-0 lead into the fourth quarter. Eastern’s defense forced Eastern Kentucky to use three quarterbacks in the game.

Starting quarterback Tyler Swaff o rd t h re w f o u r i n t e r c e p t i o n s in his time in the game. Backup quarterback Bennie Coney threw an interception as well.

It’s just the beginning of the season, but Eastern has showed in past years that they can play against any conference opponent.

The Panthers and Governors will kick-off at 1 p.m. Saturday at O’Brien Field for Family Weekend.

Wendell, Woodson take title at Valparaiso Invite

By Dillan Schorfheide Men’s Tennis Reporter | @DEN_Sports Eastern’s men’s tennis team had a successful weekend in the first tournament of the season at Valparaiso University. Multiple team members returned to campus with at least one victory.

The doubles team of junior Jared Woodson and redshirt senior Jacob Wendell won their flight, after winning 6-3 and 6-4 against Maurice Scheich from Purdue and Matt Bouggy of Chicago State.

The duo went on to beat Rohan Wattley and Felix Savard in the fi-

nals. Woodson and Wendell fell to Bernardo Neves and Johnny Wu of Washington.

Woodson also had a singles victor y and although he finished 1-2 on the weekend, coach Sam Kercheval said he played very well and was in his matches until the end against very good players.

Woodson dropped his opening singles match against Tony Leto of Iowa, before earning a win in the consolation bracket against Konrad Kozlowski of Washington.

Freshmen Marko Stefan Janjusic and Braden Davis also found success in doubles competition.

After losing their opening match, the duo went on to win the consolation final 6-2 against Purdue’s Scheich and Bouggy.

Both Janjusic and Davis picked up two singles match victories as well, with Janjusic finishing seventh in flight D. After defeating Bouggy in the first flight D match, Ammer lost to Wattley from Chicago State in the third place match.

Kercheval was overall pleased with how his team performed.

Going into the tournament, he was not worried about wins and losses, but rather that his team

got experience from their matches. He said that the goal going into the weekend was to see how his players would perform and get an idea of where they are competitively.

He wanted to see how the freshmen would handle the nerves of playing in their first collegiate matches and how the upperclassmen would come back after the summer.

Kercheval has the same expectations going forward as he did coming into the tournament. “I want to continue to work on how we compete, work hard wheth-

er in practice, the weight room or wherever we may be,” he said.

“And continue to build our team culture so that we can be successful down the road.”

The next matches for Eastern are in the EIU Invitational at the Darling Courts, which starts on Friday, Sept. 30. Eastern will stay at home the rest of the fall with EIU Alumni Weekend taking place two weeks following the EIU Invitational.

Marshall explores other options before finding spot on Eastern’s Football team

By Maria Baldwin Feature Writer| @DEN_Sports Transferring from a different school can be a tough and rocky road for some athletes.

For Korliss Marshall, a transfer-junior on the football team, it was more about the connections he made before attending the University of Arkansas that helped him reach Eastern and those connections carried the weight when times were stressful during the transfer process.

Former Eastern defensive line coach Dennis Winston contacted Marshall after high school when Winston was at Arkansas Pine-Bluff. Shortly after finding out Marshall was looking for a new University to transfer to, Winston was contacting him again. “(Arkansas) Pine-Bluff wasn’t for me, but when (Winston) found out that I was exploring transfer options later, he was one of the first people who called me,” Marshall said. “And a mutual friend, Horace Arkadie, transferred here from Arkansas as well so he helped me make that decision also.”

“We knew each other previously, and I transferred to Eastern a year before he did,” Arkadie said. “In his transfer process he reached out to me, took the recruiting visit, and now the rest as is.”

Arkadie was a defensive tackle for Eastern, who played his final season in 2015.

Departing from Arkansas came with its challenges; the running back said it has been the biggest struggle he has ever had to overcome in his athletic career.

“I didn’t know what my next move was going to be and I was pretty lost after deciding to transfer,” Marshall said. “It then became a matter of what I was going to do next. Was I going to do something to better the situation or was I going to continue to pout and not get anything done? I had to come back from that to better myself.”

So far in his first season at Eastern,

FILE PHOTO | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Junior running back Korliss Marshall rushes with the ball during the season opener Sept. 1 versus Western Illinois.

Marshall finished with 111-yards recieving and 42-yards rushing.

Marshall logged a season-high 111 reception yards against Western Illinois, his 79-yards touchdown reception was his first touchdown as a member of the Eastern Football team.

Marshall has 37 total rushing yards; his longest of 18-yards came against Miami of Ohio.

Marshall said even though he is contributing to the Eastern offense, there is room for improvement in his game.

“Thus far I feel as if I could have played better, “ Marshall said. “Sometimes you just have to accept that game day is not always your day. I feel that I have contributed well to the team, my coaches and teammates have told me and that helps me and all I have to do is keep that up.”

Marshall said that while his strengths are in his speed and agility, the energy that he brings lights a spark

right moment and sneak it in behind there,” Lara said. “It was just a bit of composure and awareness not to make a pass and kind of skip it right in there.”

Ball movement was a key factor in what lead to Scaro’s goal. For most of the first half, the pressure on both sides of the ball from both teams was evenly matched. The Panthers’ (3-5) defense kept swinging the ball around and made ballmovement part of their game plan and it showed in the second half.

“You want to circulate the ball left-to-right. You want to be in control of the game and the girls did that really well in the second half,” Lara said. “Moving left-toright with still the ability to get behind; we did that much better in the second half.”

Junior defender Carrie Caplin said that the team draws the defenders in to open up gaps on the far side of the field so defenders shift over.

The Knights (5-4) put as equal amount of pressure on the ball and still played physical offense. The Knights kept the ball in the Panthers half of the field for some time

throughout the match.

“They were quick up top and were relentless about getting that ball quickly up forward and were very direct,” Lara said. “The back line did a good job of handling that and being aware, stepping off and dropping off, stepping up.

They did a good job. They were consistent.”

Lara said the physical play does not bother the team because he wants the team to do the same thing.

One challenge Caplin said was being mentally strong during the match. “You have to keep playing aggressive,” she said.

“The first half we came out a little slow then in the second half our backline and everyone was really high pressured and went into high attack,” Scaro said.

“We were more aggressive, which we knew we had to be coming off the half. We knew we had to change something to get the win,” Caplin said.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, the Knights sophomore goalkeeper Melissa Sturgill was injured on a play that brought in Reveles.

that helps himself and others make the big plays.

“I’ve been working on getting better at my cuts, and my vision,” Marshall said. “So once I get the chance to get back on the field and move around a little bit more… I’m not saying there’s anything wrong, but there is always room for improvement.”

At practice he continues to improve, but all that matters to Marshall is the

game.

A transfer from a bigger school like Arkansas to Eastern would be a major transition in itself, but as Marshall vies to improve his game at practice, he said all that matters during the game is Eastern winning.

“I look at playing football the same way, FCS or FBS sized school, it doesn’t make a difference,” Marshall said. “Of course it’s going to be different coming from a school the size of Arkansas to a school the Size of Eastern, but once you get here and get well-acquainted, it’s the same. Just a smaller place in a new state.”

Marshall said he has no shortage of goals either and is striving for the Panthers to have a winning season above all else, including his own success.

“I would like to hit 1,000 yards receiving, I would love to hit 2,000 rushing,” Marshall said, “but honestly, I could care less about the stats. I would rather have a winning season and terrible stats than to have great stats and a terrible season. It’s honestly all about the team for me, before what I can do physically for myself.”

Having once played for the SEC, Marshall insists that playing for the Ohio Valley Conference has given him a sense of respect for all players in the league.

“I’ve never really heard of the OVC, having played in the SEC, so I’m looking forward to playing all of these new teams.” Marshall said. “It’s new to me, and really fun to know that the competition is different on every level that you play on, but you also have to respect how hard guys work in the league, and I respect it because playing teams in the OVC is no different than playing a big Division one school.”

The Eastern football team will be back at home this weekend against Austin Peay for Family Weekend,.

Kick-off is at 1 p.m.

Late goal by Eastern’s Scaro downs Marian

By Tyler McCluskey

Women’s soccer reporter | @DEN_ Sports

With five minutes remaining in the match, redshirt junior forward Emma Scaro got a through ball from freshman defender Henar Urteaga to score what would be the final factor in the 1-0 decision.

“She (Urteaga) drew the defenders through her and then I saw an opening,” Scaro said.

But her first decision wasn’t to shoot the ball from 18 yards back.

Scaro wanted to pass the ball but s a w t h e d e f e n s e s h i f t t ow a rd s Urteaga and saw the opening and chance at the goal.

“There was a bubble spot that opened up in the goal and I just placed it in,” Scaro said.

The ball slid past Marian’s junior goalkeeper Jurnee Reveles on her right side.

Coach Kiki Lara said the goal was the result of quality team defending and getting behind the ball.

“Emma did a good job of getting in behind but then also having the composure to be calm at the

Sturgill would not return. Reveeles faced one shot the rest of the half.

Sturgill’s injury came after a collision with another player. Sturgill stayed down for some time but stayed in the game. She left after having another apparent collision.

The Panthers’ freshman goalkeeper Sara Teteak saved three shots en route to the shutout.
